HALO Care Guide
HALO delivers more noticeable resurfacing than lighter lasers, which means the days following treatment involve visible healing, redness and peeling, that careful aftercare helps manage comfortably.
Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results
Because HALO combines ablative and non-ablative energy for deeper resurfacing, protecting your skin during the several-day healing window is essential for smooth, even results.
Pre & Post Care Tips
Redness and peeling typically last 3 to 5 days, with brighter, smoother skin visible as healing completes.
